At Home with Julia’s executive producer, Rick Kalowski is confident, his show will remain relevant for its full four week run on ABC1. Despite calls for Gillard to step down as Prime Minister after the mess of the ‘Malaysian solution’ Kalowski told Encore, “It would be annoying to see the Pm replaced in the next four weeks, but I don’t see it happening.”
The show, a political satire dressed up as a household sitcom sends up politicians but also looks at the way politics interferes with politician’s private lives. “It’s not a mean-spirited show,” said Kalowski, “but we do have a go at politicians and media reps, but above all it’s got a fun tone, that’s the intention.”
Some media and political commentators have suggested it’s disrespectful, but Kalowski is quick to point out, they aren’t taking sides, lampooning Tony Abbott, Bob Katter,...
